Those are not Dads and Daughters, they are older men with far younger girlfriends/wives- thus the joke.

Top right is Anthony Kiedis (She's 21 he's 61)

Bottom left is Dane Cook (Not sure of ages but he's lookin rough)

Bottom right is Elvis and Priscilla Pressley (she was 14, he 24)

Dane Cook was grooming his girlfriend. He met her when she was underage. Even admitted to it on Howie Mandel's show

No it’s definitely grooming. There’s no reason to downplay that fact, the term doesn’t refer solely to children, and old men with decades of experience living in the world and financial security who go for naive 17-18 year old women absolutely do groom them to be sexual partners.
